On the accuracy of self-reported data for fishing effort estimates – a case stu...
Russo, Tommaso; Sales Henriques, Nuno; Erzini, Karim; Gonçalves, Jorge Manuel SantosThe quantification and the analysis of fishing activity is one the most important features in fisheries sciences and ocean management, and fishery-dependent data has always been the main source of information used to that end. Within the different types of fishery-dependent data, self-reported logbook data provides vast amounts of different information about fishing activities. Despite their enormous importance...
Engaging and legitimizing communities: co-designing a community-based marine pr...
Rangel, Mafalda; Horta e Costa, Barbara; Guimarães, Mª Helena; Ressurreição, Adriana; Monteiro, Pedro; Oliveira, Frederico; Bentes, LuisMarine Protected Areas are increasingly used as tools to preserve marine habitats and biodiversity worldwide. Nonetheless, creating MPAs in densely populated multi-use coastal areas comes with intrinsic conflict potential, since protection and economic development are not always hand-in-hand and local users might disagree with the designation of such conservation tools. The use of inclusive and transparent part...
Let’s measure it: an approach of high-resolution estimates of bottom fixed net ...
Sales Henriques, Nuno; Erzini, Karim; Gonçalves, Jorge Manuel Santos; Russo, TommasoFisheries are one of the most important food sources for human consumption whilst being amongst the most impacting and extractive activities happening within the marine environment, which makes it imperative to properly manage this activity. To improve fisheries management, the precise quantification of fishing effort is of the outmost importance. Yet, present methods for effort estimation, especially at broad ...
An approach to map and quantify the fishing effort of polyvalent passive gear f...
Sales Henriques, Nuno; Russo, Tommaso; Bentes, Luis; Monteiro, Pedro; Parisi, Antonio; Magno, Ramiro; Oliveira, Frederico; Erzini, KarimThe use of tracking devices, such as vessel monitoring systems or automatic identification system, enabled us to expand our knowledge on the distribution and quantification of fishing activities. However, methods and models based on vessel tracking data are mostly devised to be applied to towed gears, whereas applications to multi-gear and passive fisheries have been underrepresented. Here, we propose a methodo...
Setting performance indicators for coastal marine protected areas: an expert-ba...
Cardoso-Andrade, Mariana; Queiroga, Henrique; Rangel, Mafalda; Sousa, Inês; Belackova, Adela; Bentes, Luis; Oliveira, Frederico; Monteiro, PedroMarine Protected Areas (MPAs) require effective indicators to assess their performance, in compliance with the goals of relevant national and international commitments. Achieving and prioritizing shortlists of multidisciplinary indicators demands a significant effort from specialists to depict the multiple conservation and socioeconomic interests, and the large complexity of natural systems. The present paper d...
Co-design of a marine protected area zoning and the lessons learned from it
e Costa, Horta; Guimarães, M. Helena; Rangel, Mafalda; Ressurreição, Adriana; Monteiro, Pedro; Oliveira, Frederico; Bentes, Luis; Sales Henriques, NunoMarine Protected Areas (MPAs) are a tool to safeguard marine natural systems, yet their effectiveness depends on how well they are integrated into the existing socioeconomic context. Stakeholder engagement in MPA design can contribute to increasing integration. This study focuses on the co-design of an MPA between researchers, public administration, the private sector, and non-governmental organizations. The pr...

Identifying habitats of conservation priority in the São Vicente submarine Cany...
Nestorowicz, Iga-Maria; Oliveira, Frederico; Monteiro, Pedro; Bentes, Luis; Sales Henriques, Nuno; Aguilar, Ricardo; Horta E Costa, BarbaraIdentifying vulnerable marine habitats is fundamental to promote evidence-based management and a sustainable use of our oceans. Although progress in the mapping of marine benthic habitats has been made, complex ecosystems such as submarine canyons remain largely unexplored, hampering evidence-based management from taking place in these ubiquitous features worldwide. Data from a remotely operated vehicle (ROV) s...
Marxan as a zoning tool for development and economic purposed areas - Aquacultu...
Sales Henriques, Nuno; Monteiro, Pedro; Bentes, Luis; Oliveira, Frederico; Afonso, Carlos; Gonçalves, Jorge Manuel SantosThe increased number of human activities within the marine environment and the demand for maritime space has increased to a point where in some parts of the globe the demand for maritime space has exceeded the available area. The overlapping objectives and activities have caused severe conflicts among users and with the natural marine environment itself. For that reason, holistic strategies such as Ecosystem Ba...
